तस्य चाक्ष्णो महत् तेजो येनायं मथितो गिरि: । त्वत्प्रियार्थ च मे देवि प्रकृतिस्थ: पुनः कृत:,उसी तीसरे नेत्रका यह महान् तेज था, जिसने इस पर्वतको मथ डाला। देवि! फिर तुम्हारा प्रिय करनेके लिये मैंने इस गिरिराज हिमवान्को पुनः प्रकृतिस्थ कर दिया है
tasya cākṣṇo mahat tejo yenāyaṁ mathito giriḥ | tvatpriyārthaṁ ca me devi prakṛtisthaḥ punaḥ kṛtaḥ ||
तस्य चाक्ष्णो महत्तेजो येनायं मथितो गिरिः। त्वत्प्रियार्थं च मे देवि प्रकृतिस्थः पुनः कृतः॥
